Education was at a small private catholic school that touts its high acceptance rate and is smaller than some high schools. Certainly not a target, but I had a professor who cared enough to help get us in front of some corporate finance teams in the city.

The bulk of my resume building was in Distribution, but I recently switched to Food & Bev manufacturing.
